FoxNation.com ^ | Aug 17 | Staff

Posted on 08/17/2011 12:05:10 PM PDT by JesseWatters

OBAMA: One of the challenges in terms of rebuilding our economy is – businesses have gotten so efficient, that, uh, when was the last time somebody went to a bank teller? Instead of using an ATM.

I guess he’s also talking about his internet donations to his campaign? I guess also that he wants them to stop?

"Or, used a travel agent instead of going online."

All the time. Unless the extent of your travel is point-to-point commuter flights. For those of us who travel abroad frequently, I wouldn't dream of not using my agent.

The best campaign commercial can be made from linking all the excuses this man has made as to why he can’t do the job.

The ATM excuse
The GOP excuse
The Bad luck excuse
The internet did it excuse

and so forth.

In the private industry sphere, make excuses and you get canned.

At least he has someone else to blame, as usual. He can say he ‘inherited’ this problem from Al Gore.

I thought the culprits were ATM machines and airport kiosks. Can’t this guy make up his mind?

He needs to go to Oregon where there are no self serve stations in order to preserve station attendant jobs.

They do, however, allow motorcyclists to pump their own gas since the attendant may scratch the tank etc, but you still have to give the attendant your credit card so they can put it into the machine and press the button....LOL!

FUBO GTFO!

Hey! Mr. ShortGame! Where do the ATM's come from. The software that is running in the ATM. The money supply in the ATM. The paper, toner, etc. in the ATM. Checks and cash out of the ATM. The network that connects the ATM to a data center. The servers in the data center. The server software. The physical data center. The HVAC on the roof of the data center. The toilet paper in the crapper at the data center...... get the idea you empty headed demagogue!
